However, this iron possesses a new equipment cha- racteristic, the DRIP-STOP function. At low tempera- tures the iron automatically switches off the steam- blast function. When this happens, a "CLICK" is heard. You must then select a suitable temperature using the thermostat 8. As soon as this is reached, steam production continues. Automatic switch-off The iron is equipped with an automatic switch-off. This stops the iron from heating up. If the iron is standing on its ironing sole q and has not been moved for approx. 30 seconds, acoustic warning signals are heard and the automatic switch- off indicator lamp 6 flashes. The iron will no longer be heated. To deactivate the automatic switch-off, pick up the iron and move it around a little. The automatic switch-off indicator lamp 6 will go off and the iron will heat up again. If the iron is standing on its base 0 and has not been moved for approx. 8 minutes, acoustic warning signals are heard and the automatic switch-off indi- cator lamp 6 flashes. The iron is no longer heated. To deactivate the automatic switch-off, pick up the iron and move it around a little. The automatic switch-off indicator lamp 6 will go off and the iron will heat up again. Note: The automatic switch-off is not a substitute for un- plugging the apparatus from the power supply! It is only intended for reducing the risk of fire if the iron is accidentally left on! Cleaning Self-cleaning function
